Once a great mod, now an astonishing game in its own right, where you not only need a quick trigger finger but also crafty tactics. In this military-themed FPS you can take control over a wide range of vehicles, arm yourself with a nice variety of special weapons and fight in a cleverly created urban environment.
But if you will ever get bored – which is doubtful – there is a community that will be more than happy to serve you some cool mods. So what are you waiting for, soldier? Do you want to live forever?

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
A long time ago, when I was a kid who only played strategy games and RPGs and didn't really like shooters, I spent tons of hours playing this game with bots. I am fully aware now that there are - and were at the time I played it - lots of better multiplayer shooters around. But my memories are still fond enough that I'd reccomend it to everyone who likes a little bit retro.
Still have this game on disk!
The first game (I know of) to have the ability to shoot out of vehicles, plenty of weapons, AI was pretty decent.
Would highly recommend this game! great to play with a few mates, very solid game-play, graphics are suitable, weapons feel right!
Great Game!
This is essentially a UT99 mod. It provides an inventory system, some modified versions of UT99 games, and some basic weapons and levels. As a single player game, it isn't great, but is a nice change if you prefer modern military hardware to UT's arcade-style weapons. I found after 30 minutes, though, that I missed the UT weapons.
As a modern release, this would be a rip-off and a disappointment. However, for $6, it's a good buy and a nice change of pace. I suggest that people play UT99 first, and perhaps UT2004, and then come back for this one if they still want more.
A few neat aspects of the game:
- limited inventory, you pick the load-out after each respawn
- the bots drive the vehicles, and act as teammates, and do both well
- some game varients are pretty cool - one has you required to kill the opposing captain four times (shooting the grunts buys you nothing)
Mobile Forces is a multiplayer FPS game that is a bit of a mix of Counter-Strike and Unreal Tournament, featuring military weapons and vehicles blended in with arcadey gameplay. To get straight to the point, while this sounds like an interesting idea (and it is), the execution is rather sloppy as the weapon balance isn't all that great and the maps are way too large for most game modes.
Deathmatch modes is so barren and lacking as you'll find yourself walking a lot in hopes to find someone to shoot at, and with objective modes like Capture the Flag, you start to wish the maps were a little more condensed so you don't find yourself using the vehicles as nothing more than a means to reach your destination faster. There aren't any respawn points scattered around the map in team modes, so every time you die you start back all the way at your team's base, which can wear on your patience real quick.
There are single-player bots, you can fight them in customizable skirmish matches or the game's Missions mode. You may get some enjoyment out of the skirmish mode even despite the AI being lackluster, but I highly suggest staying away from the Missions mode because it is some of the most frustrating series of bot matches I have played in a multiplayer FPS game. It starts off easy and rather dull, but as you progress through each map, the games get longer and the number of bots you face increase, so half-way through you'll find the bots going hard on defense. As such, you'll have to painstakingly command your bot teammates around just to capture an objective, which the bots will fail miserably at unless it's the Trailer mode or you were just lucky that they didn't screwed up. And all you get for finishing all 88 missions is a website link that isn't even archived. Great.
The online multiplayer went down with Gamespy, so unless you're an FPS diehard, I can't recommend this at all, there are far better shooters, both single-player and multiplayer, that you can play for cheap.
At the time of its release it was a pretty amazing title. A fusion of CS, Quake with added vehicles (something very rare in games at that time with "Codename Eagle" being pioneers of having vehicles in mutiplayer and Mobile Forcess perfecting the formula... then the Battlefield series happened and mobile forces became its shadow.
And going back to MF... it's a fast paced jumpy shooty classic FPS with vehicles being an important feature.
There is one problem tho. it was 13 years ago and games moved. Nowdays there are many better titles if you look for a good FPS with vehicles. Renegade X and Unreal Tournament 2004 for example. Still if its on sale i'd say you should check it out anyway. Who knows it might be a hit at a lan party.
